Bug#505570: [RFA]: grisbi -- Personal finance manager

2008-11-13 Thread Benjamin Drieu

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

This is a request for adoption to maintain Grisbi.  I do not have time
anymore to work on it.

Stéphane Glondu and Roberto C. Sánchez seemed interested in
maintaining it.  I hereby request for whoever has time and motivation
to adopt Grisbi in Debian as I know work upstream on it.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Doesn't cksfv does the job ?

Please perform according to section 5.1 of the Developer's Reference
and fill an ITP.

This doesn't help if you maintain dozens of packages and you just want
to know if one of your packages is offending.

Bug#223781: [RFA]: usemod-wiki -- Perl-based Wiki clone

2003-12-12 Thread Benjamin Drieu
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer use usemod-wiki and thus have no time to maintain it.
Package is in good shape, no serious bugs.  Very few work is needed to
maintain it as release cycle is quite long.

The only one todo item is to package version 1.0, which requires some
changes to the wiki database.  Peter Gervai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has
already made a package for this and is going to NMU usemod-wiki.  But
as he does not have time to adopt it, we need a new maintainer.

I can provide my CVS repository for usemod-wiki upon request.

Cheers,
Benjamin

After this several hundred posts thread, I still fail to see which
demonstrable harm such a silly and innocent package would do.  Oh,
well, except unproved FUDs like "it might not be distributable in foo"
or "it might offend people".

If people are offended by 1 out of 1 packages, so they are not
obliged to install it.

How fun people on this list make a mountain out of a molehill!

Have a look at build-essential, which is documented in Debian Policy
section 4.2.

Re: Bug#190302: Misusage of changelog!

Not all software has a detailed changelog.  Most of the time,
changelogs simply state "add feature foo" or "various bugfixes".  You
cannot ask upstream authors to refer to debian bug numbers in their
changelogs (one of mine does that, but he's neat), nor do describe all
bugs they close.

Moreover, this allow users to browse the BTS to seek for more
information in case they see a description of the fix looking like a
problem they encounter.

Cheers,
Benjamin

As I said by private mail to Thomas, we are to release a new upstream
version of Grisbi with support for both versions of libofx.  So I can
upload a new version at any time with either version enabled.
